Paragliding: a new take-off site at Roc d’Orsay

Good news for paragliding and hang-gliding enthusiasts: Villars now boasts a brand-new take-off site at Roc d’Orsay – Les Myrtilles! An ideal spot to make the most of the thermals and enjoy multiple flights throughout the day.

Direct and easy access

Located at nearly 2,000 metres above sea level, the Les Myrtilles site is accessible year-round via the Roc d’Orsay gondola. In just a few minutes from the centre of Villars, you’ll reach the summit and enjoy breathtaking views of the Dents du Midi, the Grand Muveran and the Mont Blanc massif before spreading your wing.

Perfect loops for enthusiasts

This site offers an ideal layout for consecutive flights: pilots can land just above the lower gondola station, pack their wing, and head straight back up for another take-off. A great opportunity to complete multiple loops in a single day, whether for training, enjoyment, or simply taking in the views.

A project by Chablais Vol Libre

Designed by the Chablais Vol Libre (CVL) club, this new site is the result of the commitment of a passionate and experienced community. The CVL brings together a diverse group! It is precisely this diversity that makes the club so rich.

An experience to enjoy all year round

Whether in summer or winter, the Les Myrtilles site near Roc d’Orsay has become a new highlight for free-flight in the Alpes Vaudoises, offering mountain and thrill enthusiasts a fresh surge of excitement.

When the cabins are closed, the site can be reached from Bex via the BVB or from Ollon via the TPC bus, followed by a walk. This site also offers prestigious flights from the peaks of Villars down to the plains.
The numerous hiking trails also offer wonderful opportunities for hike-and-fly adventures for enthusiasts.
